Then why would it pop to him?

I honestly wish they gave you the option to hide the entire FBChat system from your UI. All it is to me is an annoying, ugly, redundant grey box saying that I'm offline. If I want to talk to people about something that isn't going to be a minute chat about how none of you are doing anything at all, I'll use private messages.

I like Facebook. It makes keeping in contact with people very easy, and works great as an online photo album, so to speak.

I don't really see all the kerfuffle caused by this new FBchat, it doesn't really bother me at all. Though I would like the ability to toggle the "redundant grey box" on and off if I choose to be offline... which is most of the time.

I just stated what the "game" was in the same post.

Unless it is me and my inability to detect jokes in text.

I think you missed the point. The point being that the game was to annoy people by making their computers beep. I will now post an overused ASCII test-image-thing...

Uhhh... you can do that. It hasn't shown up for me since day one.

As for me, I like Facebook as a tool to keep in touch with friends around the world and acquaintances I feel warmly towards but not warmly enough to actually spend time with.

If I ever join Facebook I will make my profile picture a screenshot of my profile page.

And then update it every week or so.

My picture was made by Dixanadu. I like it because it has bees in it. Bees are my friends.

There are to types of photos on facebook: camwhores, and normal other ones...

Because I've always been pretty firm about not adding people from the forums on facebook. But then I added Nate, and then Sekto, for some stupid reason. Slippery slope.

I don't see what the problem is, if you're friends with them here why not on fb too? I have friends here that I added on fb as well, doesn't really matter.

Because facebook is the gateway to my personal life. While I've shared some pretty personal stuff with you turds in my blogs, I've been incredibly selective. But even in being selective, the things I've shared are things that some of my facebook friends don't always know about. Having the two things merge is unsettling for me.

You can block certain people from seeing certain things, I've blocked my parents from my status updates, since sometimes I like to bitch and moan about them and religion.
